When I'm home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation.

George A. Smith

Core strength and stability is very important to me. Tennis is all about rotation of the body and my ability to create power. I incorporate a lot of abdominal, back and glute exercises into my gym sessions.
